Hey there! My Memorial Day weekend was such a whirlwind of activities that I had absolutely no time to stamp! I finally got a few things caught up yesterday (laundry was a biggie) and was able to create this card with the Happiness Abounds Bundle of stamps and dies and Abstract Beauty 4" x 6" Designer Paper. The Abstract Beauty paper is on the Last Chance Retiring List and is discounted 50% ($7.50 instead of $15), so I wanted to play with another one of the prints from the pack before it goes away!

By the time I finished the card the light was fading, but I think the card still shows up quite prettily. I took my colors from the Abstract Beauty print: Balmy Blue, Soft Succulent, and Basic White.

I stamped the roses on Basic White with Balmy Blue. I stamped the top rose on a piece of post-it-note, then cut it out to create a mask before stamping the lower rose. I then stamped the lower rose on another post-it-note to cut out to create another mask before stamping the leaves. I colored the roses with both Light & Dark Balmy Blue Stampin' Blends and the leaves with Light & Dark Soft Succulent Stampin' Blends. I added highlights of Clear Wink of Stella to the roses and colored the rest of the Basic White layer with a Light Smoky Slate Stampin' Blend. I also cut the left side of the 2 1/2" x 3" layer with the "torn notebook" Blossoming Happiness die.

I added a few Iridescent Pearls when the card was assembled.

I stamped the Happiness Abounds greeting with Soft Succulent ink on a 3/8" strip of Soft Succulent, then used Paper Snips to cut the ends at an angle. I added the focal image layer and the greeting to the card front with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.

I added texture and interest to the 1" x 5 1/4" strip of Balmy Blue with another of the Blossoming Happiness dies.

Inside I stamped another Happiness Abounds sentiment, another rose, and more leaves to coordinate with the front.

This card came together very quickly! Here's the shopping links for the supplies:
